With days nearing for State Assembly elections, the allegations and counter allegations rounds for garnering vote have flared-up. Congress candidates of Raipur West constituency Vikas Upadhyay took intense public relation tour of the Assembly seat and appealed the residents of area to give vote in his favour, on Wednesday.
Upadhyay alleged that BJP apart from distributing money is also trying to woo voters by offering calendars, duplicate toe rings and blankets. He said that it is the time to defeat the public representative who was not seen in the constituency for past five years and touring the alleys of this seat for past one month.
Noteworthy here is that Vikas Upadhyay who is also the president of Raipur City Congress Committee is contesting election against BJP heavyweight and Minister Rajesh Munat for the first time. Notably in the last election, Rajesh Munat had defeated his nearest opponent by a thumping majority of 14,785 votes.
Upadhyay addressing a public meeting at Sarona charged that his opponent and BJP candidate who was also Minister in the cabinet of Chief Minister Dr Raman Singh if wanted to do some work and the picture of Gudhiyari, Hirapur and Sarona areas would be totally different one.
